Today's quote is actually a poem
I'm reading a book on the Holocaust and so this is what I chose for the quote of the day:
"When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I was not a Jew.
When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out."
- Martin Neimoller
